I was the one who decided to pick up and move to New York with $400 in my bank account, I was the one who spent an afternoon on Craigslist which ultimately led to my uncovering of the &ldquo;too good to be true&rdquo; job, I was the one who was wooed by the promise of $12 an hour, free cupcakes, and the draw of being the only male in a c...Fri, 31 Jul 2015 00:00:00 -0400Understanding Women's Bedroomshttp://www.askmen.com/dating/dating_advice/understanding-women-s-bedrooms.htmlhttp://www.askmen.com/dating/dating_advice/understanding-women-s-bedrooms.htmlA woman&rsquo;s bedroom is her sanctuary. It&rsquo;s where she sleeps off the annoying day at work. It&rsquo;s where she can retreat away from the world and just shut down for the next eight hours.

Social media is how we interact and meeting people on Twitter is the same as meeting your next great sexual experience through Tinder. Who cares. We live in our phones.

We were awkward and clumsy, we had no idea what we were doing, and often, things blew up in our face.

Every second article in most women's magazines is a list of things to avoid wearing or doing because men don't find it arousing, repeated so often that most of us can list them off from memory: Don't wear red lipstick, hats or wedges; don't be a starfish in the bedroom who never initiates sex; and don't...Fri, 10 Jul 2015 00:00:00 -0400How To Talk To Girls On Tinderhttp://www.askmen.com/dating/dating_advice/how-to-talk-to-girls-on-tinder.htmlhttp://www.askmen.com/dating/dating_advice/how-to-talk-to-girls-on-tinder.html<p class="p1">With proper testing and Tinder profile optimization, getting Tinder matches is easy.

It takes forty-nine of your body&rsquo;s precious muscles to close the eye that suggests romance to the one you desire, enforcing use of the orbicular Oculi muscle to procure an expression of flirtation. <br /><br />Its technical definition is &ldquo;a friendly gesture implying a degree of solidarity and/or intimacy,&rdquo; while quit...Fri, 03 Jul 2015 00:00:00 -0400Ways You Push Her Awayhttp://www.askmen.com/dating/dating_advice/ways-you-push-her-away.htmlhttp://www.askmen.com/dating/dating_advice/ways-you-push-her-away.html<em>This post was originally published on James Michael Sama's&nbsp;website, where he covers topics on dating, relationships and happiness.&nbsp;</em><em>He is a writer, blogger, social-media marketer and on-air/live event host based in Boston, Mass.</em><br /><br />I was once interviewed for an article on Fox News Los Angeles, the author of which finds herself immersed in the LA dating scene .<br /><br />We discussed some recent experiences tha...Thu, 25 Jun 2015 00:00:00 -0400Dating A Veggiehttp://www.askmen.com/dating/dating_advice/dating-a-veggie.htmlhttp://www.askmen.com/dating/dating_advice/dating-a-veggie.html<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span >Dating a vegetarian, especially when you love a great steak, ain&rsquo;t easy and when it comes to impressing your veggie with a night in, preparing dinner might seem daunting.

We want to believe this is true.
